"Bill Withers was a modest, gentle, and yet towering musical figure responsible for some of the most important, universally known soul hits ever written. It's no wonder that 'Just the Two of Us' and 'Ain't No Sunshine' won him two Grammy awards and undoubtedly played a huge role in getting him inducted into both the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Still Bill is Withers' third studio album and continues to showcase his remarkable versatility, touching upon smooth Philly soul, funk, blues and '70s folk slash singer/songwriter. Upon release the record was both a commercial and critical success and is considered a landmark 1970s R&B record. It features the hit singles 'Lean on Me' and 'Use Me,' as well as 'Who Is He (And What Is He to You)?' appearing on the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown. Unsurprisingly, next to Just As I Am, this record also made it into Rolling Stone's list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, coming in at #333. This edition includes booklet featuring a reflective essay on Bill Withers written by Grammy-nominated poet, journalist and humanitarian Kevin Powell. Still Bill is available as a limited edition of 7500 individually numbered copies on translucent green colored vinyl."

"Bill Withers was a modest, gentle, and yet towering musical figure responsible for some of the most important, universally known soul hits ever written. It's no wonder that 'Just the Two of Us' and 'Ain't No Sunshine' won him two Grammy awards and undoubtedly played a huge role in getting him inducted into both the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Hall of fame. Just As I Am is Withers' debut album and is by all measures a brilliant first outing. The record features twelve tunes of which most are Bill's own compositions, each song a reflection of his unique introspective, folky take on soul music. By far the most famous song on the album is the smash hit 'Ain't No Sunshine,' originally released as a B-side to the tune 'Harlem' in 1971. It turned Withers into a worldwide soul icon, so much so that the song won him a Grammy for Best R&B Song in 1972. Considering the other single on the album is 'Grandma's Hands,' it's not hard to understand why it's ranked #304 on Rolling Stone's list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. This edition includes a booklet featuring a reflective essay on Bill Withers written by writer, poet and civil rights activist Kevin Powell. Just As I Am is available as a limited edition of 7500 individually numbered copies on translucent yellow colored vinyl."

"Bill Withers is an American singer-songwriter and musician who performed from 1970 until 1985. He recorded several major hits, including 'Lean on Me,' 'Ain't No Sunshine', 'Use Me', 'Just the Two of Us', 'Lovely Day', and 'Grandma's Hands'. Withers has won three Grammy Awards and was nominated for four more. His life was the subject of the 2009 documentary film Still Bill. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. Withers' fourth studio album Making Music was originally released in 1975 on Columbia Records. It possesses the same down-to earthiness and eye for ordinary day life as his former work. The overall sound is smoother than his previous albums, with a warm mellow soul sound that can't be beat. The album includes his classic 'Hello Like Before', plus 'The Best You Can', 'Make Love To Your Mind', 'Paint Your Pretty Picture', and 'Don't You Want To Stay?'"
